Even with gills, the mouth is where they breath in

In the mouth, obviously, the most important part of wrangling the monsters in the darkness of existentialism is to do it with panache, and the second option is cooler.

The first option is like tucking a cig behind your ear. A viable backup.

It's more akin to using the tracheostomy hole.

Afaik they can not inhale through gill splits, water flows only in through the mouth and out through the gills. So it should be 2, but the smoke would be coming out from the gills.

This is all ignoring the fact that underwater the cigarette would not burn, hence there not being smoke in the first place.

Just mix some phosphorus in with the tobacco

Surely thats a skill that would do well at parties. Like if we could blow smoke out of our ears

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

That is actually possible if you perforate your eardrum. Would not recommend it though.

I'm glad we have a scientific answer at last.

I don't think you can smoke underwater

Are the gills like ears...?

All philosophy is inherently existential in that something must exist to define philosophy to begin with.

Takes a drag of my cigarette and blows it out my gills
